Kerry's Playlist by Kerry Howard
Welcome to 2012!!! There are a lot of huge things to look forward to this year! 2012 is a leap year, my senior class will be graduating and heading off to college or the labor force (which means this is the final year for Kerry's Playlist), the sun's poles will reverse due to Solar Cycle 24's solar maximum, and of course, there's the end of the world on December 21st. Despite these dramatic events to look forward to (if one can truly look forward to the apocalypse), let's take a nostalgic look back to 2011, and the musical masterpieces it produced. 2011 Musical Masterpieces 10. Colder Weather by Zac Brown Band

The holidays would not be complete at the library without the annual Teen Gingerbread House Competition in early December. Teens tapped into their inner artist at the 13th Annual Gingerbread House Competition on Saturday, December 3rd at this yearly event. The meeting room was turned into a candy workshop as a record number of teens, 47 in all, along with their friends and siblings worked furtively to creative their own candy confections. As in years past, the competition was fierce. Teens only had around an hour and a half to get their structure completed. And once again, the teens did not fail to delight with their amazing designs. The judges, Iris Nelson, Judy Decker and Katie Kraushaar had a difficult time coming up with the winners. But in the end, winners were finally selected. Most original house was a New York style townhouse by Lydia Kurfman. 
The Most creative prize was won by Kerry Howard with her version of the Titanic. And the Most traditional prize went to Maria Peterson and Linda Quach for their eco-friend House with Windmill. A good time was had by all and truly put everyone in the holiday spirit. Thanks to all you helped prepare the icing, set up the room and judge the contest. This event could not take place without the help of our very dedicated staff who embraced teen programming with a vengeance this year.
